Relishing in the Little Things
March 3, 2009
This week I got invited to screen my commercial, Viesso: Couch Therapy, at The Be Film Festival in New York. And you know what? Hell yeah!
Is it the biggest film festival world? No. Has anyone ever even heard of it? Perhaps not. But you know what? I don’t care. It rocks. It rocks because it’s the world giving me feedback and it’s not a poo sandwich so that is a good thing.
I’ve found that most of the progress to be made in this industry is slow and steady if you’re lucky, slow and jerky if you’re like everyone else. And, if you’re really fortunate, punctuated by a few grand leaps forward that will someday be neatly edited into a 30 second summary for E! True Hollywood Stories.
So in the meantime, it’s important to find pleasure, gratification and learning experiences wherever you can along the way. Or you may one day end up a very grumpy monkey indeed.
Have a great week everyone!
congrats on getting your film into the festival! Yeah it doesn’t matter if nobody’s heard of it, but you have accomplished something that so many people haven’t done, so… Besides, everyone have to start out somewhere, so this is a good start.
